Palm Springs climate change (0160)

Palm Springs climate change (0160)
Typically golf courses in the Palm Springs area 'overseed' in the Fall. The grass that tolerates the heat in the summer turns brown in the winter, so the courses historically cut that grass very short and plant a winter seed on top. The process takes quite a bit of water and with the drought many courses have switched to overseeding only around the greens.

For some reason, no one every talks about the very high particulate pollution that comes from the overseeding process, both from bur cutting the summer grass in the Fall, and then bur cutting the winter grass in the Spring.
